Year 4
Curriculum Map
Invasion
In the Invasion project, your child will explore the effects of the Roman withdrawal and the chronology and geography of subsequent invasions. They will study the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings in detail, examining their reasons for invading, their settlements and their everyday life. In addition, your child will look at monasteries and the Anglo-Saxon legacy. They will consider how we know about life in this period and investigate the Sutton Hoo ship burial. The project will end with the children learning about the Norman invasion of 1066.
In order to prepare your children for this topic, you may want to revisit the learning the children carried out last year about the Roman rule in Britain. Visiting museums such as The British Museum are also very beneficial and inspiring to the children.
